Introduction

Magic is a time consuming but rewarding Combat Style due to the sheer prevalence of

Melee

enemies. Dealing more damage and taking less damage from the most common enemies in the game is fantastic. For Magic, use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Runecrafting

to obtain the highest level weapons and armor, as well as to create runes to cast spells.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Runecrafting

armor does not need to be upgraded to provide Damage Reduction, appropriate level Robes will automatically provide this stat. Magic has two different Attack styles,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Magic

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Defensive

:

• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Magic increases your Hidden Magic level which causes each attack to be more accurate and deal more damage.
• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Defensive increases your Hidden Magic Level less, while also giving Hidden Defence Levels and evenly splitting the amount of XP earned between
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Magic and
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Defence.

In general,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Defensive

is always the most efficient Attack Style to use, as training

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Defence

with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Magic

uses the least amount of time and damage while remaining efficient.

Combat Magic has a ton of options to choose from, mainly based on the amount and type of runes required to cast each spell. Curses and Auroras can add a lot of damage, but are entirely optional as they increase the amount of runes required to

Important Notes on This Guide, Please Read

• Levels for
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Slayer and
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Prayer are assumed to be equal to the
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Magic Level unless mentioned otherwise.
• This Guide does not include any Pets.
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Agility or
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Astrology unless specifically mentioned in the section.
• Each section is to the next Gear Set and/or Spell, sections can be skipped. In this case ETA until the next section will need to be re-calculated.
  • The Experience Table can be used to reference how much XP is needed.
• Items or Spells with (Optional) next to them are recommended, but not required for survival. If not owned these items can be skipped, they will however impact the XP /h gained.
  • Items with the (Optional) tag next to them are still recommended to be obtained.
• Gems and Points of Interest are recommended if Atlas of Discovery Expansion is owned, they are not required.
• Rough estimates for Food consumed /h are listed in Lemonade which heals for 1
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Health. Simply divide the Food Consumed /h numbers by how much the used Food heals for.
• ETA until next section rates are based of using the
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Magic attack style, when using the
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Defensive style the XP will be split equally between
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Magic and
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Defence and will thus take twice as long as indicated.
• Rune usage has Combination Runes alternative in brackets, this replaces the , , and cost in non-Wind spells.
  • Combination Runes are more cost/time efficient to use and should be used whenever possible.
  • When using Combination Runes it does not matter if you use a Staff or Wand and Shield. It is recommended you use your highest Wand with Book of Eli instead of the Staff listed in the guide.
• Each section assumes at least
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Auto Eat - Tier I has been unlocked.
• Any tier of the
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Surge Aurora and/or
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Anguish Curse can be added for increased kill rates. This will increase the Rune usage per hour but is generally worth it. Even if not listed in this guide.

Level 30

• At
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Level 45 it is worth it to farm Thief for Gloves of Silence.
  • This item does not really benefit combat. It does however benefit
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Thieving a lot.
• Also suggested at
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Level 45 is farming Shaman for Shaman Ring, this Ring will be used until
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Water God Dungeon
• At this point is also suggested you farm Master Wizard for Amulet of Magic and Enchanted Cape
  • It can be worth it to keep on this enemy for 100 Amulet of Magic. This can be upgraded into Elite Amulet of Magic which provides higher magic damage bonuses as well as 2% Damage Reduction
    • This is not required if you own the Atlas of Discovery Expansion and visit (9, 13) in
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Cartography
    • If Elite Amulet of Magic is obtained, replace the Amulet of Magic in the next sections with that.
• It is also suggested you farm Paladin at this point to obtain a pair of Paladin Gloves. This item will be used in further sections of this guide
  • This can be ignored if the non-combat levels for Pure Crystal Gloves are obtained. (
